John, the timing of this (excellent) post was a bizarre coincidence for me. I'm doing research for a presentation on the Russian colonial experience in what-is-now Alaska. One of the topics is the famous love story about Russian nobleman Rezanov and the daughter of the Commandant of the Presidio in San Francisco. One of the iconic pictures associated with that story is a detail from a mural on the wall of the Presidio chapel. It turns out that Victor Arnautoff painted that mural also, and (now that I look at it) his depiction has a notable anti-imperialist cast.
